# M Venusaur EX #2/83 — Generations

## Summary

M Venusaur EX pairs a starter Pokémon with the Mega Evolution craze, and Kanto's Grass starter has never lacked admirers. As an Ultra Rare in a celebration-style set, it was a real chase pull, and 5ban Graphics' work, familiar from many XY-era ex cards, adds steady collector appeal. The modelled guide sits at $23, up 1% over 30 days on 42 copies traded, with 131 days of inventory on the board; PSA 10s at $400 are only 18 times raw with a 17% gem rate, so grading barely breaks even.
